DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix Announce Six New Original Kids’ Series for 2018 #StreamTeam

It looks like DreamWorks Animation has been really hard at work lately. They have just announced six all new original series to debut on Netflix in 2018. These are series for kids including
Trolls: The Beat Goes On! on January 19, 2018, She-Ra, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, Harvey Street Kids, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Trollhunters Part 3! and also tied to Trollhunters is 3 Below. 3 Below is the second installment of the Tales of Arcadia trilogy from Guillermo del Toro. I’m really excited about this series as well as She-Ra. I hope that She-Ra is great because I think Eva would enjoy it very much if it is done well. I shouldn’t be too worries since DreamWorks Animation has put out some pretty incredible stuff lately, especially those things from my childhood like Voltron and new classic like Trollhunters. Trollhunters is one of the best shows on Netflix that has come out in a while. I cannot wait to see what the whole Tales of Arcadia trilogy will look like. There is a lot coming and it all looks cool.

One of the first things that is begin released (After Trollhunters season 2 this Friday, that is) will be Trolls: The Beat Goes On! on January 19, 2018 and you can see it first in the trailer below.
